Harry Potter For Seekers

Welcome to Harry Potter For Seekers, a web site for seekers who want to explore the deep spiritual foundation of Harry Potter.

The aim here is to help you discover the many layers of spiritual symbolism hidden beneath the excitement, mystery and fascination of Harry Potter.

The Harry Potter Prayer

Holy Potter of the universe,
who are in Heaven,
Hallowed be your Patronus.
May the Lily in my heart
give birth to Harry.
I surrender my wand to you
that I may use it
only in conformity to your will.
Feed and sustain
my inner Harry Potter,
So that he may kill the basilisk
living at the root of my being
when I have learned to forgive
all the wrongs done me by others.
Send your Phoenix when I am
tempted, and deliver me
from the Voldemort in me.
Amen

What is Harry Potter really about?

The aim of Harry Potter is to show how death can be vanquished; how an ordinary mortal human being can enter a process of
transmutation and transfiguration that will alchemically transform him or her into an eternal, perfect child of God, filled
with overwhelming compassion for suffering humanity.

All the characters are symbols or personifications of aspects of the
process, symbolically called, "making the Philosopher's Stone". With this stone the alchemist can make gold, i.e. the Gold
of the Spirit, and the Elixir of Life, i.e. eternal life.

It is the aim of this website to inform the world that the most
popular book ever published tells the most beautiful story ever told: the return home of the Prodigal Son to the arms of the
Father. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site and that we have succeeded in showing the depth and intensity of the
spiritual power emanating from Harry Potter.

Spiritual Articles

In this section you will find a few articles written by people with varied backgrounds describing different spiritual concepts and interpretations of the Harry Potter story. Some of these articles form the basis of discussion topics in the newsgroup. We are also proud to host some articles written by authors for the Accio 2005 conference and the Lumos 2006 conference.

Other Stories

The Stories section is dedicated to stories and books which, just like Harry Potter, contain spiritual symbolism. Here you can find articles, links and book reviews which discuss this symbolism for the sake of comparison to Harry Potter. Stories include Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Tao Teh Ching and the Corpus Hermeticum.

Web Site Skins

The web site has four different skins. Each skin is based on a symbolic aspect of the Harry Potter story and a small description of the symbol is provided along with a link to a longer description of the symbol.
So far we have the Lily, Stag, Rose, and the Sirius symbols.

The Sirius Symbol

Sirius was the star of the resurrection to the ancient Egyptians. We know that when Harry is born,
Sirius is made his God-Father. Sirius becomes Harry's example, his mentor and his guide.
See Sirius in our Symbology section.
